Gemerkter

Gemerkter is a German adjective form derived from the past participle gemerkt, which itself comes from the verb merken (to notice, to remember). In ordinary usage gemerkt conveys that something has been noticed or remembered, and gemerkter functions as an attributive adjective when placed before a noun. Like other adjectives of participial origin, it inflects for gender, number, and case.

Common declension patterns include:

- Masculine nominative singular: ein gemerkter Hinweis

- Feminine nominative singular: eine gemerkte Notiz

- Neuter nominative singular: ein gemerktes Detail

- Genitive masculine singular: eines gemerkten Hinweises

- Dative plural: den gemerkten Hinweisen

Examples of use:

- Der gemerkte Hinweis im Protokoll half dem Team, den Fehler zu finden.

- Eine gemerkte Notiz lag neben dem Kalender.

- Es gab ein gemerktes Detail, das später erklärt wurde.

In contrast to more evaluative terms, gemerkter emphasizes that the element has already been observed or recorded, rather than making a current judgment about it. It is more likely to appear in written or formal language and when a precise characterization of note-worthy information is intended. The form is primarily grammatical and lexical rather than representing a distinct concept, and it is closely related to the general use of participles as adjectives in German.
